Google Compute Engine (GCE) is an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offering from Google Cloud that allows users to create and run virtual machines (VMs) on Google's infrastructure. It provides scalable, customizable compute resources to run workloads such as web applications, databases, and large-scale data processing tasks, similar to AWS EC2. GCE is flexible, cost-effective, and integrates with other Google Cloud services for seamless operations.
